I have not stayed here in several years. I found the staff as helpful and pleasant now as they were then. The motel is older and should be upgraded. I'm sure that the housekeeping staff do their best. I didn't feel threatened or unsafe. A fair price overall!

Staff is great and I enjoy staying here. Rooms are clean. Location has a lot of homeless people but other than that they don't bother me. Tammie the GM is professional and works hard to make sure guest are happy.

This Red Roof really makes the effort to provide a clean comfortable and quiet stay at a reasonable price. The room was fine. Floor could have been scrubbed a little more but overall fine. Water pressure was super and bathroom was immaculate. Only issue is beyond their control and that is the sketchy people wandering around. This is what you get after 4 years of Biden Harris and what you will get tons more of under Harris. Don't let them steal another election. This place was totally amazing when I stayed here 4 years ago.

In my personal experience, this place is great. Neighborhood is a little iffy you gotta be careful. However, the service is great with the office and the rooms may not be over the top fancy, but they are great nonetheless. Comfy bed, water pressure for the shower is good. Tv and internet is good as well. I recommend this place for anyone who needs a hotel

The front desk ladies are so knowledgeable and understanding and have great customer service. My daughter had an traumatic experience while checking in and they had made it right with her when she was excited about. If it wasn't for a front desk I would have found somewhere else to go. What I feel could improve is breakfast the hotel next door have a small breakfast but you have to be a part of that side. But if they're both connected and some kind of way we should be able to eat breakfast there also. But if not they should offer a small breakfast as well including coffee. And not just coffee.

If you need a cheap room with basic amenities and a good location than this is great. There is green space provided to dogs, however it is small and trashy. You have to go across the street next to a ditch to get good dog walking space. It is about 4 minutes from hurricane harbor, 20 minutes from frontier city, and close to the interstate. If you want a family friendly motel and aren't used to living in sketchy areas then do not stay here. There is a lot of homeless people who hang out here and walk around. Additionally, there are a lot of women who appear to be prostitutes hanging around the area. This area has multiple cheap motels and truck parking near by. I never had anyone break into my car or my room. I was safe but if you aren't paying attention, being careful, and being respectful something bad could easily happen.

Over all I had a great experience every time I have stay at this hotel. The front desk staff is helpful, friendly and knowledgeable of their job. Their maid service has been outstanding at keeping my room clean, changes bedding and clean towels. I worked late at night during some of stay and was not woke up by the maid service while I was sleeping during day if notified them or had a do not disturb sign on the door which was great for one that might be working odd hours. This hotel is responsible priced and will be my go to hotel in the Oklahoma City.

The location is BS but it literally has nothing to do with the property itself. Lock your car and keep the room locked and you’ll be just fine. Very convenient to have a 7-11 directly next door, a Casey’s within a 2 minute walk and a Denny’s next door. They also have a McDonalds directly across the street. They have an ATM in the lobby, vending machines and an ice machine too! There are constantly police and security patrolling the area as well, which is nice for added safety. This motel could not have been any better. Due to some unfortunate circumstances, we had to stay for just over a month! The cleaning team was incredibly generous and patient as we have two kids and one vehicle so they often had to wait for me to gather the kiddos and a stroller so they could come in. Sheets and blankets and pillows were comfortable and clean. They left more than enough towels and rags. They’d provide extra toilet paper whenever we needed. Our room had all hard floors which is very nice with two small kids. Beyond amazing water pressure. Never even came close to running out of hot water. This isn’t remotely the nicest hotel you can stay at but it’s more than affordable. The staff is beyond kind and patient. I’ve seen other reviews and I think the manager’s direct attitude puts some people on edge but believe me, she’s kind and will help with questions and concerns. Absolutely would recommend staying! The rooms are clean and we had not a single bug the entire month. The WiFi is great and the TV channels are a good variety. The heating and cooling systems work very well also.
